This is a multicenter, 2-arm, randomized, prospective study of patients slated for bilateral cataract extraction. One eye will be randomized to the Study Arm, and the fellow eye will be randomized to the Control Arm.
For the control arm interventions: Preoperatively, the Control Arm (control eye) will self-administer a regimen of ketorolac four times daily (QID) x 1 day and moxifloxacin drops three times daily (TID) x 1 day before surgery. On the Day of Surgery, eyes in the Control Arm will receive in-office drops administered by study staff according to the following schedule: * In pre-operative holding: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin * Immediately prior to surgery: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin * At the conclusion of surgery while still in the operating room: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin, 1 drop prednisolone acetate * Any time in postoperative recovery: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin, 1 drop prednisolone acetate Eyes in the Control Arm will then self-administer the following postoperative interventions: ketorolac drops QID x 1 month, prednisolone acetate tapering QID x1 week, TID x 1 week, twice daily (BID) x 1 week, and once daily (QD) x 1 week; and moxifloxacin drops TID x 1 week. For the study arm interventions: Eyes will receive in-office drops on the Day of Surgery administered by study staff according to the following schedule: * In pre-operative holding: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin * Immediately prior to surgery: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin * At the conclusion of surgery while still in the operating room: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin, 1 drop prednisolone acetate * Any time in postoperative recovery: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin, 1 drop prednisolone acetate. Eyes in the Study Arm will be treated with the following intraoperative interventions: intracameral phenylephrine 1.0%/ketorolac 0.3%, intracameral moxifloxacin, and subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide. The following study assessments will take place for all subjects: Visual acuity measured by the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart (pinhole visual acuity \[VA\] or best corrected visual acuity \[BCVA\]) * Slit lamp examination, including intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement * Grading of inflammation * Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire * Pain assessment on a 0-4 scale * Overall participant satisfaction on a 0-10 scale * Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging Eyes in the Study Arm will also receive in-office drops administered by study staff at the end of the 1-day visit: 1 drop ketorolac, 1 drop moxifloxacin, 1 drop prednisolone acetate. Rescue therapy for postoperative inflammation will be allowed for Study Arm participants, if necessary, at the discretion of the evaluating physician and will consist of prednisolone acetate QID (taper also at the discretion of the evaluating physician).

Eyes in the Study Arm will be treated with the following intraoperative interventions: Intracameral (OMIDRIA) phenylephrine 1.0%/ketorolac 0.3%, intracameral moxifloxacin (0.5%), and subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (0.4 mL, 10mgs/mL).
On the Day of Surgery, eyes in the Control Arm will receive in-office drops administered by study staff according to the following schedule: * In pre-operative holding: 1 drop ketorolac (0.5%), 1 drop moxifloxacin (0.5%) * Immediately prior to surgery: 1 drop ketorolac (0.5%), 1 drop moxifloxacin (0.5%) * At the conclusion of surgery while still in the operating room: 1 drop ketorolac (0.5%), 1 drop moxifloxacin (0.5%), 1 drop prednisolone acetate (1%) * Any time in postoperative recovery: 1 drop ketorolac (0.5%), 1 drop moxifloxacin (0.5%), 1 drop prednisolone acetate (1%)
